"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Unfortunately we probably should start counting our chickens. John Calapari recently added the young star to the Dominican Republic National Team. The 16 year old will be coached by Calipari and playing alongside Al Horford and Charlie Villanueva in a quest to go to the Olympics. Calipari will certainly have a upperhand in his recruitment.

I bet you two are the type who don't use capitalization, punctuation, or proper titles in letters either. This damn texting has turned an entire generation into a bunch of Twitter tweetle-dee-dumbers. At least now readers can identify who is writting these comments. I'm Herm, I'm a person who these people can identify with and talk to. You're just "jMatthe313GoBlue"... if anyone can figure out what that means.

I bet you're the type who probably shouldn't be "writting" as often as you have been. However, you were successful in one facet. The "~Herm" helped me more easily identify you as the idiot who suggested we call the athletic department to find this weekend's visitors. You do know that you could have just made your handle, "Herm," right?

Congratulations bub, you found a spelling error in my comment on a message board that commonly utilizes a nearly naked blonde to describe happiness, obviously indicating that MGoBlog is the foremost bastion of formal discussion on the internet. Moreover, such nit-picking endears you to me, and others, about as much as an old-maid, second grade spelling teacher with bad breath. I'll put this in terms you can hopefully comprehend; I'm the Maverick to your Goose, and not in the friendly sort of way (more of a: you die in a plane crash and I score Kelly McGillis, metaphorically of course).

Seriously? You sound like the epitome of everything that is wrong with the blue hairs. I bet you sit somewhere near the fifty yard line and whine about all the hooligans around, as if you were at some soccer match in Ukraine and not a football game in Ann Arbor.

I was gonna go out on a limb and suggest that you probably watch the games from a box, but then I realized someone as close-minded and grumpy as you has exactly 0 business acumen and thus probably can't afford it. So, yeah.

I wonder how people would feel if Coach K got ride of the current USA team in favor of a McDonald's All-American High School roster?

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

I'm OK with it if he is indeed worthy, but Calipari is probably pretty proud of himself for thinking of this one. Still, somebody should tell this kid that he forfeits any chance at wearing the Stars and Stripes if he plays for DR in international competition. As the #1 kid in his class you have to believe he's got a good chance at playing for the USA if he kept developing.

But the real answer: Because Rick Pitino was coaching the Puerto Rican National Team

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

Does anyone here really think Calipari will still be at UK in 2015? He will get caught cheating before then, or will put his nose to the air, "smell the posse on his trail," and head for higher ground, just as he always has before.

Calipari is incapable of keeping his cheating far enough below the radar in today's "information age" to stay at any school for very long. John Calipari is no Jim Tressel.

I'm surprised half a dozen top-50 recruits haven't received mysterious offers of Dominican citizenship in advance of the Olympics, with somebody in place to take their citizenship test if by some chance they happen to fail the first time around.
